Glad to say Im old, cuz This music is my cup of T, I'm 🇲🇽grew up in black neighborhoods, so I got the SOUL, HEART and VIBE straight up, with 60's, 70's and 80's jazz, soul, r&b jams! 🎼❤️🙏
No, Our Music 🎶🎼🎶 Had Meaning, Experience, Love and Pain! Now this Shit, Excuse My Language Has No Depth, Broken English, No Heart or Education, Just Lost Uninspired and They ain't Looking for Love, Marriage is a Chess Game! Where is the Pain in a Songs? Voice Makeovers is Not Singing! I'm Just Done with this New Crap! Y'all Can Have It! I'll Stay Right Here With My KIND❤
The power that be, don't want you to listen to this. They want you listening to kill someone or call a woman a dog. Back in the day, you bought an album, and you could listen to both sides and find hits, not this one and done bull.
This is one of the songs that will be played at my engagement party and my wedding reception. We are not going to allow anyone to destroy what we have.
This is why we all love these old songs, as there is nothing around these days to compare with them. We love the memories associated with these old classics. The days of my youth really were better, I just didn’t know it then.
Gday luv Here everyday so inspirational Goes hand in hand with his family's hit Ooh child Don't let anyone stop you From rising to the top Kudos exactly what I needed to hear
The 3 stair steps were fantastic. Clarence Burke, Sr (deceased) was a great and gifted writer, composer, singer and played a guitar "like ringing a bell." RIP
I feel sorry for the youth of today bekawz, they have NO GOOD MUSIC TO LISTEN OR DANCE TO! Where are the 2day's R & B Singers, Groups & Bands? How is it that what passess for hip hop now had come so far and away from what came B4 it? Hip Hop of former times was conscious, fun & also danceable, no hip hop music from these new jack groups like that exist 2day. #WENEEDAREALGOODMUSICREVIVAL!
I love this song! I had never heard it until a few years ago! It is on my playlist now! It is such a jam! I am in my sixties! How did I miss this gem? Love it! 😎👍🏽👏🔥⭐️💟❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Keni Burke sang with his brothers and sister back in the 1960’s& 70’s They were know as the 5 Stair Steps they were singing as a family long before the Jackson 5
Hi! I love your cousin! I am 70 years old, about the same age as your cousin. Your cousin and his brothers and sister Aloha was always in Philly. I STILL HAVE THEIR GROUP PICTURES I PURCHASED at the UPTOWN THEATRE in the 60’s. They always put on their show at the uptown. I wish I could text you one day, THEIR PICTURES if you don’t mind giving me your text number. The pictures are sharp with little Cubie also. I always took care of these pictures because……..I WAS DEFINITELY A FAN of THIS AWESOME SOUL GROUP! The FIVE STAIRSTEPS ! Wonderful group indeed! I have their records STILL also! ❤️❤️❤️
classic early 80s stuff keni, ya song, your the best, ive got it on 12inch vinyl, still gives me chills, well ahead of its time son, well heavy vibes for year 82 i fink, takes me back to greg edwards robbie vincent mr legend froggy lyceum in the strand dayz etc, these younger generations dont know wot they,ve missed, they just keep nicking rifts from those late 70s early 80s classic songs, (your songs included) amount of times ive listened to the radio & heard a new dance tune & fought wots that rift to, fink ive got that on vinyl, spose its a tribute in a way of how gud the songs were in those dayz, long live songs from 78 to 88 especially, a classic 10 years of music x
Listen to Keni when he shared lead on the song "Ooh Chile" as a teenager with his family group, The Five Stairsteps. A little bit of music trivia. He and his brothers also renamed themselves the Invisible Man's Band, and released their 1980 hit "All Night Thing". Check it out! Ciao!!!

Have we somehow evolved as a race that we don't, or can't write music like this anymore?
No, Our Music 🎶🎼🎶 Had Meaning, Experience, Love and Pain!

Listen to Keni when he shared lead on the song "Ooh Chile" as a teenager with his family group, The Five Stairsteps. A little bit of music trivia. He and his brothers also renamed themselves the Invisible Man's Band, and released their 1980 hit "All Night Thing". Check it out! Ciao!!!
One of the greatest tunes! Timeless what a bassline!
